Happy Ending To A Great Cruise

View from the initial berth of our  "Great Escape" when we took possession of her in Ft. Lauderdale Fla. on New River.
Leaving the dock for the first time in our new to us boat on the voyage home to St. Louis Mo in the fall of 2009 .

JoAnn with our daughter Robin on fly bridge of "Great Escape".

Going north on the ICW to the Palm Beach area on Lake Worth passing many multimillion dollar houses .

Eleven bridges had to open for us between Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach on our way. ( Some on demand as you arrive and some at set scheduled times )

"Great Escape" in its slip at the dock at "Sail Fish Marina" in Palm Beach Shores.  My goal to be either "on the hook" or safely at a dock by 4:30 PM with a glass of wine  was met.  We left our spot in paradise on New River at 7:30 AM.

A view off the back of our boat on a perfect day later in the trip. (see blog "Crossing Okeechobee")

JoAnn and me bringing a perfect day to an end at "Sail Fish Marina" restaurant.  Our choice of this marina was influenced by memories of our "honey moon" some fifty years ago when we stayed in the Palm Beach Shores area.  The marina is a short walk to the beach and many memories.
